I am wondering what knowledges and skills are required if I want to develop a viewer for ip cameras? Will you have any resource could be shared? Of course, I am not gonna develop one for sales, but just thinking of through this practice, understand this part of works more. tks, dove

Do you have any ideas on verifying if an IP camera is streaming a MJPEG, MPEG4, or H.264 video via Internet? Is there a handy software as viewer for testing this? rgds, dove

If there is a management software for security device, e.g. ip camera, alarm, access control, etc, what features your customers would like to have? Particularly, those not yet found in market. Could you share with me your experience? Rgds, Dove

There are many choices achieving the same functions, Axis is just one of them and probably best and most expensive one. Anyway, if you're planning your business, I think you can explore what your local customers want and choose those most competitive solutions.

Collin, I do like your idea. However, having studies those material for a while, I found manufacturers do provide API on Microsoft platforms, e.g. Axis on MS C++, VB .Net, Imagia OCX, C, etc.... I guess Java is not impossible, but much more effort required to go into every nitty-gritty about the video streaming, and control to the remote camera probably impossible without the corresponding API developed by camera manufacturers.

Woudl you suggest any SDK that's a better start-point for self-study? e.g. with detailed documentation. rgds, dove

then that must be a best-seller with all the powerful features!

Hi John, Your info just good enough. Thanks. rgds, dove

Previously, a gentleman suggest this handy tool. http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ or you can record the files and view the header.

will you hear of any open source package that can be enhanced to a software for monitoring ip camera remotely? thanks, dove

Yeah, but zone minder is linux-based. Is there windows-based? rgds, dove

I recently interested in NICEVision products, is there anyone with experience with this and don't mind sharing with me your points of view on that family of surveillance solution? particularly its Analytics? counting heads accurately? Rgrd, Dove

John, No, not there a specific problem for me. But just thinking, head counting is particularly tricky, if the analytics can count really satisfactorily, this analytics is great and worth being considered. rgds, dove

Glad to hear you got it to work. While the installation seems not user friendly, is the card itself working reliably? rgds, dove

if i want to design a ip based video solution with many camera, say 32 pieces, and make use as minimum bandwidth as possible, is that multicast a good option? do you know any product(s) got this features? can you share the detail with me? thanks, dove

John, Thanks for your sharing. I am with you. But here I feel a bit confusing that if multicast can only offer by network providers? As the router and switches actually provided by them. If they don't support, multicast video can't pass through. Am I correct? Rgds, dove

zmxtech, that's great. many thanks, dove

Ah yeah, a good method to do it the another way. By the way, are the format of streaming and recording essentially the same? Thanks, dove

good technologies.

How Geovision calling its Geo H.264 or Geo MPEG different from standard H.264 or MPEG? Do you mind sharing your experience? Thanks, Dove

I have a driver, may be useful to you. Please PM me your email, I can send you then. Rgds, Dove

Where can I download a free version of NICEVision? What's the name of it? Is that working well? Regards, Dove

I am just wondering if you messed up things. You said you can view on internal network, right? What are the ip address of your pc and dvr under this circumstances? can you post it out for clarity? Then, you said webport, is there somewhere in the router calling virtual server? or you know webport just name the same thing in router? Let's fix it step by step. rgds, dove

Hi Kensplace, glad to hear you have the problem fixed. But anyway, if you want information about this camera, I can help. They're just using Imagia Chipset that is common so not strange you can find software compatible. You're welcome PM me. rgds, dove
